It’s an identity crisis!

First Mr. Emo, now Leroy Jenkins? I seriously believe MTV found these looneys huffing paint behind a Wal-Mart. Anyway, Tyrie confesses to Davis that he is much like Alex. If warranted, he can switch from his normal self into either Leroy Jenkins — an intesified, ghetto, Incredible Hulk — or Dark Kent — which he doesn’t describe but most likely means a black version of the reserved and submissive Clark Kent. He, of course, follows by saying he hopes Mr. Jenkins does not make an appearance this season. Hmm … I think you spoke a little too soon, buddy.

Drrrruuunnnkkk!!

So, the night’s agenda is to go out drinking. I guess they figured they would plant trees, feed the homeless or try something else constructive later. They even did shots beforehand. And I hope you heard Davis, as he’s pouring himself a shot, say, “I told my boyfriend I wasn’t going to drink a lot tonight.” Geez, it’s like foreshadowing is going out of style.

Anywho, a jillion drinks later, Davis is tanked. He decides to go home and drunk- dial his boyfriend. Back at the bar, a bartender calls Stephen the infamous N-word. He’s obviously upset with the bartender but is also upset with Davis for leaving without telling anyone. Tyrie gets all riled up, as well and, when back home, confronts Davis about why he left “his boy.”

Buckle up, Leroy’s at the wheel!

This is about the time Leroy enters the scene. I’m not sure where this Leroy comes from, but he obviously doesn’t know that reasoning with drunk people makes about as much sense as, I don’t know, sticking your head in a beehive. Leroy asks Davis if he, indeed, left Stephen to be the victim of a racist bartender. Davis, completely sauced, can’t comprehend a thing and instead chooses to talk smack to him which further escalates the situation.

They get in each other’s faces, toss threats around, cry a little, make mean faces and throw feces everywhere (not really). Stephen tries to calm the situation but Davis screws things up even more by calling Tyrie the N-word, as well. When everything starts to boil, though, MTV producers pull a huge cop-out and send Davis to a hotel for the night. Man, I was ready for fisticuffs.

I’m sorry, blah blah blah

The next morning Davis meets with his roommates to tell them he’s leaving the house. He claims he has a drinking problem and can’t keep up with the rest of the house’s lifestyle. Which, so far, entails having multiple personalities and drinking heavily.

Tyrie, no longer in Leroy mode, tells Davis he can see the two working things out. Christian Stephen says he can, and will, be forgiven. I was hoping we would be seeing a new roommate, but Davis decides to stay and he and Tyrie make up. There’s no bro hug, though. So, don’t trust it.

Next show teaser

It seems the EXACT same thing happens next week. This time it’s Davis who gets called out. Tyrie’s got his back, though. Correction, Leroy’s got his back. Another chance for fisticuffs! I can’t wait.
